Saturday, June 26, 1999

EVENTS:

Open Spot Landing

1/2A Boost-glider

1/2A Parachute Duration

A Streamer Duration

Open Spot Landing

(NOTE: This event MUST be flown prior to flying in any of the
other events of the meet.) Open to single-staged entries. The
purpose is to land the rocket so that the tip of its nose cone is
closest to a predetermined spot on the ground. You are allowed
only ONE official flight. In Open Spot Landing any type of
recovery is allowed provided it conforms to Rule 3.5 in the Pink
Book.Weighting Factor: 4

1/2A Boost-Glider-1/2ABG

Open to any model, one portion of which returns to the ground
in stable, gliding flight supported by aerodynamic lifting
surfaces (wings). Staged entries must have the gliding portion as
part of the upper stage, and must not be deployed until that
stage has burned out. Only the gliding portion is timed. The
purpose is to achieve the longest flight duration time.
Conditions permitting you are allowed two official flights your
final score being the sum of those flights. NOTE THE MODEL MUST
BE RETURNED. Weighting Factor: 17

1/2A Parachute Duration-MAPD

Open to single-staged entries containing one or more
parachutes for recovery purposes. The purpose of this event is to
achieve the longest flight duration time. Conditions permitting
you are allowed two official flights the final score being the
sum of those flights. NOTE THE MODEL MUST BE RETURNED. Weighting
Factor: 7

A Streamer Duration-ASD

Open to single-staged entries that contain a single streamer
as the only recovery device. The purpose is to achieve the
longest flight duration. A streamer as defined for this event is
a piece of cloth, plastic film, or paper whose shape is
approximately rectangular. The streamer must have a length to
width ratio of five to one (5: 1) or greater with a minimum area
of 100 centimeters, connected by only a single line or cord,
attached at the narrow end of the streamer. The cord or line may
not be connected to either the streamer or the model at more
thatn one point (e.g. NO YOKES PERMITTED). The streamer may not
be slit, cut, or otherwise altered in such a manner as to affect
its nature as a simple connected plane. Though it may be
necessary to use more that one piece of material to reach the
required length each piece must be the same type material and
attached parallel to the narrow axis of the streamer using the
smallest joint possible. Conditions permitting you are allowed
two official flights, the final score being the sum of those
flights. NOTE MODEL MUST BE RETURNED. Weighting Factor: 8

NAR Number: Each entry shall carry, legibly
displayed upon its exterior surface as the model rocket appears
in flight readiness, the contestant's name or NAR license number.

Recording of Returns: It is the
responsibility of the contestant to ensure that the officials
have noted on the entry card that the model has been returned,
where it is so required.

Competition Points: Competition points are
awarded to each contestant as follows.

10 points per event for placing first
6 points per event for placing second
4 points per event for placing third
2 points per event for placing fourth
1 point per event for making at least one qualified, official
flight (flight points)

Scores: Scores are calculated in the
following way: Competition Points are multiplied by the Weighting
Factor for each event. The result is then multiplied by the
Contest Factor (Section Meet is 1) to produce the contestant's
total score. Example: You place first in Open Spot Landing. First
place gives you 10 points; OSL has a Weighting Factor of 4 and a
Section Meet has a Contest Factor of 1 as shown above. Multiply
10 X 4 X 1 you would be awarded; =: 40-points. If you took first
place in each of the four events your total Score would be 360
points.

You will learn more about model rocketry in one
contest than you will in years of "swish-n-pop" rocket
launching. Yu will also learn that it's lots of fun!
